A bold, angular serif with crisp chamfered corners and wedge-like terminals that evoke an engraved or carved feel. Strokes are largely even in weight, but many joins and endpoints introduce sharp triangular notches and subtle spur-like serifs, creating a faceted rhythm across the alphabet. Uppercase forms are compact and blocky with squared bowls and clipped curves, while lowercase remains stout and highly structured, with single-storey forms and pronounced vertical stress. Numerals follow the same cut-corner logic, yielding strong, sign-like silhouettes with tight counters and robust shoulders.
Best suited to headlines, mastheads, and logo lockups where its cut-corner detailing can register clearly. It also works well for sports or team branding, event posters, labels, and packaging that benefits from a traditional, badge-like voice.
The overall tone is gothic-adjacent and collegiate, mixing old-world severity with a sporty, emblematic presence. It reads as assertive and ceremonial, suggesting tradition, competition, and heritage branding rather than casual or contemporary minimalism.
The design appears intended to deliver a heritage-forward display serif that combines blackletter cues with block lettering for maximum impact. Its consistent chamfering and wedge terminals emphasize durability and authority, aiming for recognizable, emblematic shapes in short text settings.
The face favors straight segments over smooth curves, and its corners and inner counters are consistently treated with bevels that help maintain a cohesive, machined look. At text sizes it stays punchy and compact, with dense texture and a distinctly stamped or poster-ready character.
